Car Line
The guiding principles behind our parking and car line policies are safety, efficiency, and respect. Accordingly, parents and other drivers are asked and expected to adhere to the established procedures.
Parents should be respectful of other drivers and surrounding streets and driveways. Parking in or otherwise blocking private driveways and public streets are inappropriate behaviors. The use of the Four Green Fields parking lot is prohibited. Drivers who do not respect the property and movement of others risk being towed without warning by property owners.
Primary Division (K(4) and K(5)
Drop-off and pick-up take place in the driveway directly in front of the Primary Division entrance.
• Please do not block the driveway at any time.
• Please do not stop or park in any red curb area or block any driveway while waiting in line.
• Drivers should approach the Division driveway on Rome Avenue from the south (Bayshore Boulevard).
- U-turns in front of the Primary Division campus are not allowed.
• Please avoid turning left from the Primary Division driveway.
• Parents should wait their turn, one car at a time, directly in front of the Division entrance.
• Arriving children should be ready to exit the vehicle immediately, from the passenger door only. Departing children should enter the car on the passenger side as well.
• Parents who are walking should approach the Division only from the Watrous Avenue side and accompany walking children from home to the main entrance door.
Lower Division (Grades 1-4)
All Lower Division drop-off and pick-up traffic should approach Orleans Avenue from Watrous Avenue.
• Parents driving to school on Bayshore should turn onto Rome or Howard, and then approach the School via Watrous Avenue.
• If our parents are delinquent in this matter, the city will force the School to hire police officers and to absorb all associated expenses.
• Children should not be dropped off or picked up from cars in the middle or left lane.
• Please have children ready to exit/enter car immediately on the passenger side of the car.
• Please do not have book bags or other school items in the trunk.
• Please do not park or stand within 10 feet of a driveway.
• Please do not park in the School pick-up lane (red curb) during school days or in a designated 5-minute zone.
• If you need to walk into the School, please do not park along the School side of Orleans.
• Parents and children should use the crosswalk, and children should be physically escorted across the street by the parent.
Middle Division (Grades 5-8)
To enter the Middle Division car line, drive down Platt Avenue and turn left onto Parker Street (the street between Zudar's and Publix), turn left onto the brick alley (behind Zudar's) and follow the alley into the front parking lot.
• Please do not cut across Four Green Fields parking to join the car line.
• Parents who prefer to walk up to pick up their child should turn left at the Plant-Platt intersection, and then immediately turn right onto Cardy St. to park alongside the School's gym and back parking.
The School accepts NO liability for lost or stolen property or damage to any vehicle while it is parked on or near any of our campuses.
Lunch
- The lunch program offers several lunch choices every day, with a focus on providing quality food that our students will enjoy.
- Lunches must be pre-ordered from WT Cafe, an outside food service vendor.
- Parents are not permitted to bring soft drinks, coffee drinks, or fast food to students. Uber Eats and other food delivery services are not permitted on School property.
